A chapel -
Actually, I found it a bit creepy when I first found out that room had once been a chapel. But that probably has a lot to do with the fact that
The Legend of Hell House is one of my favorite haunted house movies and the chapel in the Belasco Mansion ("the Mt. Everest of haunted houses") plays a significant part in the proceedings.
- that might have been interesting if they had decided to keep a chapel at Collinwood. ... think what use the Rev. Trask could have gotten from it in 1897!
You have a point there. And just imagine if someone like, oh, say, Nicholas or Evan or Gerard/Judah had attempted to perform a Black Mass in it. (And the evangelicals of the '60s thought walling up Rev. Trask was unforgivable blasphemy?!
)
The only thing at the moment that seems like it might be unidentified (though I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open) is the last photo, on the right, to the right of the one pointing out the chapel.
That's just a photo of another French Eclectic Style house with a vaulted bay.
I actually had a slight start when I saw the one with you behind the low stone wall, MB - for a moment I thought it was a ghost!
I can assure you I was very much alive at the time. Still am so far as I know.
